*VISAKHAPATNAM* : A woman, who was reportedly suffering from mental
illness, created a flutter at Jagadamba junction on Saturday as she was
carrying an injection syringe and some drugs.

The woman was travelling in a ‘share' auto, and two other women
co-passengers who found she was carrying the drugs and syringe suspected
that she was planning to rob them of their valuables after drugging them.
The strange behaviour of the ‘mentally challenged' woman must have added to
the confusion.

The auto was stopped for sometime and an argument followed after which the
women passengers handed her over to the Two Town Police. Investigation
revealed that the woman is suffering from some mental illness and is
carrying the drugs prescribed at the King George Hospital. The
co-passengers mistook her for a thief and brought her here”, said Inspector
T. Mohan Rao.

The woman was taken home by her husband.
